Organizational Development to Build Multicultural Competence

Forums to disseminate best practices in attracting and retaining Latino talent

The SMU Cox LLI assists organizations to strengthen diversity and build capabilities to drive performance in the Latino and other multicultural markets.  By attending the SMU Cox LLI’s annual symposiums and year-round events/forums, companies are able to improve their Diversity & Inclusion outcomes and learn how to effectively use these efforts to influence business outcomes. Signature events focus on talent management. 

Past symposium topics include: Attracting Top Latino Talent; Engaging Latinos through Social Media, Connecting with Latinos: How Latinos Perceive your Organization, Chief Diversity Forum: Keeping Diversity & Inclusion at the top of the Agenda, and I am Latino in America, featuring Soledad O’Brien.
